In the aftermath of the failed [[Clan Nova Cat]] rebellion, the Silver Dragon Stables vowed to eradicate any gladiators using Nova Cat equipment. Beginning with [[Avanishi Khalsa]] and her ''[[Cave Lion]]'', they systematically worked their way through the games with deadly determination. Four more MechWarriors fell to the Dragons' vendetta until only [[Burkhard Schlömer]] remained.

Description[edit]

From their formation, the Silver Dragons ranked among the top Kuritan stables.[1] The Stable was based in Kobe.[2]

History[edit]

The stable was formed in 3024.[2]

By far the most well-known and respected pro-Kurita stable on Solaris – even more than DeLon Stables which got the Coordinator's favor in the time of Theodore Gross – the stable was founded by Anna Nevil. The stable, led by her nephew in 3067, was known for its ironclad contracts, complete loyalty to House Kurita and scrupulously fair treatment of the stable's MechWarriors.[3]

During the Jihad, several Silver Dragon MechWarriors joined the Solaris Home Defense League.[4]

In the aftermath of the failed Clan Nova Cat rebellion, the Silver Dragon Stables vowed to eradicate any gladiators using Nova Cat equipment. Beginning with Avanishi Khalsa and her Cave Lion, they systematically worked their way through the games with deadly determination. Four more MechWarriors fell to the Dragons' vendetta until only Burkhard Schlömer remained. Bribery of the gaming commissioners resulted in Schlömer facing four Silver Dragon 'Mechs in the tunnels of Ishiyama. Schlömer won the match after a full day of fighting, but his 'Mech was ruined. The Silver Dragons had succeeded, though maybe not as fully as they might have liked.[5]

Operations[edit]

The MechWarriors had great loyalty to the stable's ownership because of its fair treatment and good payment.[6]

Spokesman[edit]

  • Philipe Anders also doubled as spokesman of the stables during Anna's leadership.[3]

Tactics and Style[edit]

Stable MechWarriors were known for being cautious. They would try to close with their enemies and held fire until the last moments.[3]

Facility[edit]

Silver Dragon Hill was the training ground of the stables, containing advanced simulators and located near Xolara. Live-fire exercises were rare as the stable valued its equipment.[6] Inside Xolara itself the Silver Dragons had a 'Mech bay for repairs and modifications. Both bases were heavily secured.[6]

  • Rating = AA in 3054 and A in 3067
